As things sit, your all-in-one Apple G3 (which is either a 233 or 266 mhz processor with a 512 cache) will be the speediest of the bunch. Your S900's, if they're stock, have a less capable 604e PPC processor. A 604 is no slouch, but can't truly compete with a G3. But the S900's have way more potential IMHO, and with a reasonable outlay of cash can be quite a monster, what with all the expansion slot possibilities. The S900's are much more easily upgraded in just about any category you can think of, whereas the Apple aio is more limited in the drives, PCI, and RAM expansion areas. I'm a bit biased towards S900's, of course, but truthfully, a little money put into either the Apple or UMAX machines would result in a very useful, and powerful machine. Sounds like a mini review huh? Sheesh, I didn't mean to, I just get carried away I guess. It's just opinion after all. =) -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
